~ Removal and replacement of
the mixing blade ~
|
 |
To remove the mixing blade, first
unscrew the mixing blade cover (A). |
 |
Then push the mixing blade (B) toward
the opening. |
 |
And lift the mixing blade (B)
upwards. |
 |
To replace the mixing blade, repeat
the above steps backwards. |
~ Assembly and removal of attachments ~
|
 |
Insert the attachment into the
opening, lining up the keyed parts. |
 |
When the keyed parts are lined up and
the attachment is almost flush against the support (C) on the body
of the machine, turn the attachment counter-clockwise about a
quarter-turn to lock it in place.
To remove the attachment, turn it clockwise about a quarter-turn,
then pull it away when disengaged from the lock. |
~ Making the pasta ~ |
 |
15 oz. (420 g.) durum wheat or all
purpose flour
4 whole eggs (approx. weight: 8.5 oz. or 240 g.)
IMPORTANT:
Using the above recipe will prevent overloading the motor with too
thick of a dough.
If adapting it, first try the above recipe so that you will get a
better idea of the required moisture content for proper machine
operation. When changing the recipe, try to keep the moisture
content close to that of the above combined ingredients.
|
 |
Open the cover, add the flour and
then the eggs. |
 |
Close the cover and press the Start
button.
After 4-5 minutes, the dough should be soft, smooth and even, and
ready for removal from the kneader. |
 |
Open the cover. The micro-switch (M)
will stop the motor and cause the power switch (D) to glow red.
In order to easily remove the dough, it should be in the upper
part of the chamber.
If you experience difficulties removing the dough, follow the
previous instructions for removing the mixing blade. |
 |
Cut the dough into 4 or 5 pieces. |
 |
Mount the flat roller attachment to
the side of the machine.
Move the thickness setting to No. 1
Lightly sprinkle the rollers with flour. |
 |
Pass a piece of dough once through
the roller, then fold the sheet and pass it through again. |
 |
Fold the sheet and pass it through
the rollers multiple times to complete the kneading process.
After each pass, lightly flour the sheet before the next pass. |
 |
To obtain a thinner sheet, reduce the
thickness setting to the next larger number with every two passes,
until you have the desired thickness. |
 |
Place the sheets of dough on a
tablecloth and allow them to dry a bit. |
 |
Remove the roller attachment and
install the desired cutter.
Introduce the sheet of dough into the attachment as shown on the
left, to insure that it enters the cutters evenly. |
 |
As the pasta is cut, hold the strands
to prevent them from bunching.
The pasta can now be dried for later use, or it can be used
immediately.
To further dry the pasta, set it on a tablecloth or drying rack to
keep the individual strands from sticking to each other. |
~ Cleaning up ~ |
| |
 Brush off the
flour. That's all.
Never wash any
part of the pasta maker.
|
~ Cautions ~ |
| |
Keep children
away from the machine when it is operating.
Never put
anything in the rollers except for the dough.
